Cameratopia

ok i fucked up again. Actualy i think this run was more sucess than faliular for a change.

First off the cast came out realy good, i was very pleased.

ok so the horrible casting is now over sucess at last now time for the resing. For anyone who has never used resin (like myself) it is possibly the most toxic substance ever. With that said i decided to do all the work in my room, windows closed. No golves were used either.

starting off i had to build somthing to hold the cast upright and to support a cone i inserted in the middle to allow some space. I built a sloppy structure out of wire and mounted it in my filing cabinet. very professional i know. then i proceded to mix the resing with the catylist and dye and poured. The toxic arroma gave me a huge headache, and because it all in my room i had no where to turn. i tryed to go to sleep in my however i just seemed to toss and turn all night. I finaly decided to open a window, now im sick unforutinatly. The following days i had the biggest hedache ever, probably from frying all my brain cells. Not to mention my hands were covered in resing. Resing dose not wash off. my hands were sticky for 2 days. fourtinatly now they are just stained.

I woke up the next morning excited like a kid on christmas to see the results. to my dismay i noticed the resin level had dropped. low tide. The cone i inserted (made out of foam) had disolved. rookie mistake i guess. asssided from that the copy came out ok. It was still alittle sticky but the damage is done so its jsut a practice now anyway.

Actions
bought rubber gloves
moved operation outside of room
bought cones made out of non-resin disolvable compunt (i think)
will use more catalyst
fix the makeshift pouring station.
